Fisherman
Grab your gear
While the sea is
Calm and clear
Old routines
Leave me here
Go catch us gold
Fisherman
Leave the shore
With a kiss
By the door
Love will wait
When you go
Oh, now i know
Down the dock
Boats asleep
Late at night
I hear them breath
Early light
I hear them leave
With men like you
Fisherman
Stories say
No one gets
Pleased this way
Not ’til you
Find a wave
That washes you back home
Back home, back home
Fisherman
As you left
I put on coffee
Got no rest
Went to church
Did my best
To sit still and smile
I’ve been good
Done all the waiting in this life
Watching the view ’til you arrive
‘Til you turn down my bedroom light
But I fear
That one night
You’ll return
Without a smile
Different look
In your eyes
No longer moved by me
Fisherman
Could it be
Nothing hides
In that sea
All you want
Is here with me
Waiting ’til you come right back home
‘Til you come back, ’til you come back home
‘Til you come back, ’til you come back home
‘Til you come back, ’til you come back home
‘Til you come back, ’til you come back home

Remember how you needed him
You kept feeding him with love, bleeding him
Remember how you needed him, then kept leaving him, stop
He said these lights move faster than our minds
They sneak through cracks, oh, even in the darkest times
Lord, I know, lord, I know
I’m holding onto what I know
I won’t hide then love will show, show, show
Trust is a chain I will break before any doubt begins
I looked for trouble in him
But his heart’s pure to the brim, let me in
Lord, I know, lord, I know
I’m holding onto what I know
I won’t hide then love will show, show, show
Those days are long gone, been down through the low then high
Now I found the water I will wade my entire soul in
I kept looking outside of him
Pouring out my heart, he’ll make a sea and say:
Don’t know what I’d do without you
Don’t know what I’d do
Mint lágy tavaszi szellőt,
puha tejszín hableányt
érzed közelgő végzeted,
a semmi-de-kellő sellőt.
Ősvízből kint száll,
a vádat ejtendő
tudod, hova beférne:
szívedben nincs ily nagy kincstár.
…Bújik el az életvilág,
Ő a Világ, az Élet.
Míg neki füttyöt, Ő fittyet hány
A tolvaj forgószélnek.
…Tudatja, ha már itt volt,
semmi nem maradt itt,
elsöpör mindent most is,
mint legutóbb
maga alá gyűr múltat, s jelent
a hatalmas fuvallat,
s vele a kollektív huzatalattit.
S mint sötét üregükbe iszkoló nyulak,
lengetik fehér szívüket hatalmas urak,
hát próbálná asszony visszafogni urát
de nincs ki menti pucér epicentrumát.
S csak ha vége már,
úgy lesz megint minden puritán,
továbbáll a tisztító szűz,
az édes kurtizán: a Hurrikán…
Those days are long gone, been down through the low then high
Now I found the water I will wade my entire soul in
I kept looking outside of him
Pouring out my heart, and make a sea
Those days are long gone, been down through the low then high
Now I found the water I will wade my entire soul in
I kept looking outside of him
Pouring out my heart, I’ll make a sea and say:
Don’t know what I’d do without you
Don’t know what I’d do x 4

dont look for peace in me
before you know
what battles I carry in my hands
dont call me a warrior
just cause i paint my face
to hide the one i am
you’re not for me to save
don’t try to spell my name in your dreams at night
and don’t fall in love with me
babe, that’s simply not your right
everything i got i worked for
worked my hardest
and now i fight to keep it
don’t be that kind
who blows my house to the ground
just because you need it
now i’m safe and i’ll behave
don’t try to turn the game once i’m passing through
and dont fall in love with me
cause i shouldn’t fall in love with you
now who are you?
thinking you can wrap me all around your fingers?
never have i been unsure about my dreams
but who am i now?
walk into your life, should turn, but i just linger
never have i been unsure about why i am
loving, so wild, loving so blindly
i won’t lose myself all over
now who are you?
thinking you can wrap me all around your fingers
just don’t you fall…
so don’t speak to me that way
as if I’m weak for
everything you’re saying
babe, i’m not weak for you
i am strong in my passion
but that’s still not betraying
maybe i’m a riot, a fire burning quietly
already lost
but don’t fall in love with me
before i know to what cost
see, the world has a grip of me
it tells me what to do with love and what not
maybe i’m not made for these rules
’cause I was nowhere when someone made them up
you say everything will fade
and the only thing that stays are the things we didn’t do
but don’t fall in love with me
’cause babe, I’m not letting you

The hand I raise

today I won’t be the one you want me to
I’m no ones darling and I’m no ones friend
today I won’t be the one you want me to
I don’t own this system and I don’t own this land
today you won’t get what you want from me
I’m no ones woman and I’m no ones lust
today you won’t see what you want in me
I won’t be here for a while, leave me no trust
today I won’t hear any voice but mine
all of these made up rules, I’ll shut them out
today you won’t interfere into my life
world keep on turning, yeah, all the way ’round
today I won’t be the one you know me as
I won’t be faithful and I won’t be kind
today peace is nowhere, just inside of me
I won’t be trying to satisfy
today in my quiet grace, I’m gonna riot space
if I’m here with all my soul that’s the price I pay
this erratic system is a static chase
expecting me to go out with a smiling face
separating my rights from the curves I sway
separating my body from the hand I raise, the hand I raise, the hand I raise
why do you think that I walk on by for you?
it’s not a conversation if I answer of fear of you
it’s not my obligation to be pleasing to you
you’re hungry for power to use, power to abuse
what makes you think you got the right to invade me?
pervade me, diminish and degrade me
I’ll never let you change me, no, I’ll never let you change me
I say, the hand I raise is my body too, I say
the hand I raise is my body too
